Speaker 2: It has been a lot of ups, some downs. We
Speaker 2: can't complain. We learned from the experiences. But it's been
Speaker 2: such an amazing journey to get to this point. I
Speaker 2: love what I do. I'm a singer now, composer, songwriter,
Speaker 2: the producer. But I'm also a special assistant for l
Speaker 2: U s t Yes during the week, so I do
Speaker 2: that as well. And and now we're on a different journey,
Speaker 2: you know, just that's been taking off. I've been blessed
Speaker 2: here in the City of Angels, right.
Speaker 1: And you were born and raised here, right.
Speaker 2: Born in Hawthorne to Mexican parents. Yeah, Meca Callisco, there
Speaker 2: you go.
Speaker 1: How was it growing up in La? How is that?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 1: Obviously everyone has a different experience growing up in LA's
Speaker 1: La is crazy. La is a lot of cultures, a
Speaker 1: lot of people, a lot of you know, attitudes. Sol
Speaker 1: just you know, everyone has their own story. How was
Speaker 1: it for you?
Speaker 2: I was blessed to be shown so many cultures in schools,
Speaker 2: to be be able to experience different families, you know,
Speaker 2: growing up in public schools. So I grew up in
Speaker 2: the South Bay, South Bay area, like born in Hawthorne.
Speaker 2: My parents always working, so we had, you know, apartments,
Speaker 2: living in apartments in the Torrents area. And I remember
Speaker 2: a duplex that doesn't exist anymore, close to the Alpine Village,
Speaker 2: close Little one ten. So I grew up in South Bay,
Speaker 2: went to high school in San Pedro, Pedro Alumni, but
Speaker 2: I was always exposed to many cultures. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 2: I went to middle school at thirty second Street in
Speaker 2: Los Angeles next to the shrine. Shout out to all
Speaker 2: my fellow classmates. But there was so many, so much cultures,
Speaker 2: so much richness being here in LA. And it's right,
Speaker 2: like you you grow differently you're in LA.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not for the week either. It's fun. I
Speaker 1: love I generally love LA and their people, but like
Speaker 1: the different I know, I get it's the different cultures
Speaker 1: and I just maybe I'm just comfortable in LA. Nothing
Speaker 1: can take me out of here and just like you
Speaker 1: know I every day I'm like, wow, this is a
Speaker 1: city I love to be in and.
Speaker 2: We have so much. Like you want to experience the mountains,
Speaker 2: you go to the mountains. You want to experience the ocean, yes,
Speaker 2: I mean go me that right. You want to experience
Speaker 2: good Italian you go to place good Ramen.
Speaker 1: Yes, there's good everything here.
Speaker 2: We're very spoiled.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And how about your journey? What was your first
Speaker 1: like memory of getting into music?
Speaker 2: The first memory is used to have this chair as
Speaker 2: a kid, and it would it would go round and
Speaker 2: round like it was like a turning chair if you
Speaker 2: could imagine that, and it would. I would act as
Speaker 2: if it was like a skateboard. And I would put
Speaker 2: on vinyls that my parents had listen to Fernandez Antonio Fernandez,
Speaker 2: and I would spend hours turning in that chair listening
Speaker 2: to music. My mom would be like like, no, I'm
Speaker 2: loving it, like I'm truly enjoying it. Those those were
Speaker 2: my first experiences at home, just loving to be sing Mariacci.
Speaker 1: Music and ever since then.
Speaker 2: And my dad would sing okay a lot, would sing
Speaker 2: a lot, and I would hear him sing all the
Speaker 2: time because he loved so he would go there as
Speaker 2: mante de cantar. He would be in officionado. So los
Speaker 2: officionalos if you don't know, is like there's it was
Speaker 2: either a nightclubs or a little clubs, little cantinas where
Speaker 2: they would either have mariachi or anything and they would
Speaker 2: it was like a contest, not like American idol or
Speaker 2: anything like that, but it was a contest and they
Speaker 2: would win a bottle. They would have been like boots
Speaker 2: and there were there would be a lot of good
Speaker 2: singers and my dad would be always win. So that
Speaker 2: was another reason why it was like, Okay, my dad
Speaker 2: is singing, he's bringing back a trophy and it was
Speaker 2: really cool.
Speaker 1: And how did you Because I feel like La has
Speaker 1: a you know, has a lot of competence.
Speaker 2: It does.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of voices, a lot of beautiful voices,
Speaker 1: let's and I feel like I would like to say
Speaker 1: mariacci is probe of the biggest like voices in l A.
Speaker 1: You know, just in general, how did you set yourself apart?
Speaker 1: Or even now to this day, like how do you
Speaker 1: set yourself apart? And you know, because it isn't easy,
Speaker 1: guess he's not easy.
Speaker 2: From La not only did I listen to Mariacci, but
Speaker 2: I would always listen to hip hop. I would listen
Speaker 2: to R and B. I would listen to oldies. So
Speaker 2: it was sal so everything. So you hear it down
Speaker 2: your Streeticanos, so you're hearing everything all like this melting
Speaker 2: pot of sounds. So when when we grow up here
Speaker 2: in La, like you have so many colors, you know,
Speaker 2: out of the mariachi myself, I love to take all
Speaker 2: those colors. And I love how Luther Vandros did that.
Speaker 2: I like, how did this? I like this be centifin
Speaker 2: as how he does this? And you study the best, right,
Speaker 2: you study majoris and you kind of take from there
Speaker 2: and make it your own, make it your own. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I think, and I feel like I'm very true to myself.
Speaker 2: I think that's why that might be why it works out. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I set myself apart. You know, I don't think I'm
Speaker 2: trying to sound like anyone. I mean I'm taking away
Speaker 2: certain things that people do.
Speaker 1: It's your own, Yes, no one's going to be your voice.
Speaker 1: Like everyone is justin and they have their own different
Speaker 1: types of of ways and it's their own, of course.
Speaker 2: And we need that. Yes, I'm not saying, oh you're
Speaker 2: not good. No, I'm very you know a part they
Speaker 2: content them a trumpet player. I love jazz, and I
Speaker 2: love you know big Man and all those, all these sounds,
Speaker 2: all these artists and they all have different sounds. Not
Speaker 2: better because all they play higher, yeah, or not better
Speaker 2: because they play loaders or smooth. It's just it's your sound.
Speaker 2: And I think that's that's where you could become your
Speaker 2: own and people like that. We need different sounds.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I definitely agree. And I think that's also the
Speaker 1: beautiful part. Again, like I said about LA in general,
Speaker 1: everybody has there's so many voices to hear, and yours
Speaker 1: is very powerful and it's been used in many parts
Speaker 1: of LA and even across the world and nationwide. And
Speaker 1: you know, we're gonna go on a quick break and
Speaker 1: we will be right back. Welcome back, you guys. You're
Speaker 1: signed again, like I said to death Row Records, and
Speaker 1: that is that is amazing. And I think as a
Speaker 1: Latino just speaks so many volumes and it is just
Speaker 1: I think it's so inspiring. How did that happen for you?
Speaker 2: So we all went through, uh, we all have gone
Speaker 2: through grief and loss, but I think La really went
Speaker 2: through it when Kobe Bryant pest and everyone was feeling shocked,
Speaker 2: just because everyone was so young and just the way
Speaker 2: everything happened. And I saw a lot of people gathering
Speaker 2: outside of Staples Center and now it's script the right, Yes,
Speaker 2: so I think the whole community was grieving. I even
Speaker 2: saw Abandon play and I was like, Wow, that's so cool.
Speaker 2: And the only way that I think one of my
Speaker 2: love languages is through song. Like I've I've been part
Speaker 2: of parties and events where people are celebrating. I've been parts,
Speaker 2: I've been involved in places where people are grieving, you know,
Speaker 2: funerals and stuff like that. So the only way that
Speaker 2: I was wanted to show love is through song. And
Speaker 2: I was looking at all these people just going down
Speaker 2: there and seeing you know, I was like, we gotta
Speaker 2: we gotta sing, we gotta do something right. And a
Speaker 2: friend of mine beat me to the punch. I was like,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna pose. I'm going tonight if you guys want
Speaker 2: to join. Friend of mine knows Ghana and he writes, hey,
Speaker 2: bring your track, bring your instruments, We're gonna go play
Speaker 2: for Mamba. So I remember you were cooking my wife

Speaker 2: you think of everyone right that's been involved Mariacci first
Speaker 2: Mariacci artist on death Row Records. I was like, this
Speaker 2: is first of all, is a major because Snoop Dogg
Speaker 2: is globally known.
Speaker 1: Yep, right, He's also known because he loves are the Latinos. Well,
Speaker 1: he loves everybody. He has a special heart, his special
Speaker 1: place in his heart for the Latinos.
Speaker 2: See because yeah, mass and you know, look into it.
Speaker 2: And you know, I had seen some videos of him
Speaker 2: and I'm like, Okay, is this a gimmick, like you know,
Speaker 2: because you think, okay, musically, how serious is this? Right?
Speaker 2: I don't know? And then he puts and then not
Speaker 2: only he puts the typical cellino and he puts certain
Speaker 2: songs like oh I love this jam and I'm like, wow,

Speaker 1: He's just he's so cool, Like I would love to
Speaker 1: like just chose him, but go ahead please. So what
Speaker 1: else happened after that? Like you felt like it was
Speaker 1: a movie? Did you say yes immediately?
Speaker 2: Or they just well you hear stories, right, you hear
Speaker 2: a typical recording record label stories, horror stories. So I
Speaker 2: was very you have to really, you know, inform yourself,
Speaker 2: look into a lot of things. But it just felt
Speaker 2: like family, like it felt so nice. My A and
Speaker 2: R shout out to Frankie Vasquez, mister reg Fred Wreck.
Speaker 2: It was just Sean that was an engineer there. It
Speaker 2: just felt like family, like all right, do you want
Speaker 2: to do this? Okay? And very like what I meant
Speaker 2: that at the beginning, you're like, okay, how how are
Speaker 2: we going to work together? Because these are two worlds
Speaker 2: and how is this engineer or the producer gonna understand
Speaker 2: Mariiaci music how to record instruments. And when I felt
Speaker 2: at peace was when I heard not the final track,
Speaker 2: I heard the mix and I heard the guitar n.
Speaker 2: The guitar n sounded like I've never heard it before.
Speaker 2: I mean, you listen, tell me a recording I haven't
Speaker 2: heard of Madiacci and you hear going, oh e those
Speaker 2: like you're listening to a lot of things. They're like,
Speaker 2: oh that was a cool recording, but we needed more.
Speaker 2: Right and I heard this, I was like, wow, this
Speaker 2: guitar room is slapping right now, this is this is hitting,
Speaker 2: like this is how I love to hear like in
Speaker 2: biebel Right. I was like, okay, we got this, and
Speaker 2: I'm like, how did you do that? Right? How did
Speaker 2: you and he was like, mister torre Is, we're hip hop,
Speaker 2: we're the lower end. We are we understand the lower end. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you know. So I was like, dang, this is amazing.
Speaker 2: I was uh ecstatic for the opportunity and there I
Speaker 2: was just doing what I love and people that were there,
Speaker 2: you know, mister Rex friends and like you don't even
Speaker 2: know what's going to happen to you because like you
Speaker 2: don't even know, like you're this is going to be
Speaker 2: epic wow, And.
Speaker 1: That's that's crazy that you did it out of the
Speaker 1: love for l a, the love for music and being
Speaker 1: genuine to yourself obviously, you know, from one night, and
Speaker 1: it happened three years after that night, three years after Well,
Speaker 1: I think, no, I think that God's timing is perfect.
Speaker 2: You know, it's true. Yeah, it's true. It's it's very
Speaker 2: you know, it's sometimes one is scared to do certain
Speaker 2: things and take the leap, but once you do, and
Speaker 2: it's it's an amazing Yeah, that's good.
Speaker 1: And I think that you you asking the questions obviously
Speaker 1: and you know, being aware and it's like there's no
Speaker 1: reason why this wasn't like this was destined for you,
Speaker 1: it was handed for you. And it was in the
Speaker 1: plan for you. And how does it feel, you know,
Speaker 1: Sagate Salisco and being Latino and Angelino yourself, Like, what's
Speaker 1: the how was that for you? Now living out a dream.
Speaker 2: I've always envisioned myself being on stage, like being performing,
Speaker 2: So actually seeing it happen and materialize, it's such an
Speaker 2: amazing feeling because, like you said, it was a dream
Speaker 2: and now we're living the dream, like actually living the
Speaker 2: dream and meeting people like experiencing this dream because of
Speaker 2: angels from the City of Angels. Like literally where I'm
Speaker 2: at is because of people like you giving an opportunia,
Speaker 2: people that have been helping me throughout the way and
Speaker 2: just I don't know, believe in me and believe in
Speaker 2: my story. That's that's I feel like, that's amazing to
Speaker 2: know that people. There's so much love and there's so
Speaker 2: much so many people rooting, you know.
Speaker 1: For you, and I you know, I'm reading I'm rooting here,
Speaker 1: I'm rooting here, I'm rooting for Latinos. I feel like
Speaker 1: in general, like again, this is a dream and this
Speaker 1: is what you know the plan God has destined for you,
Speaker 1: and I feel like it's for a lot of people
Speaker 1: and I know that there's people, you know, it's aspiring singer, songwriters, producers,
Speaker 1: Latinos specifically, and I think even like a lot of
Speaker 1: people in Mariacci. You know, let's narrow it down. What
Speaker 1: advice can you give to those people looking to be
Speaker 1: where you're at right now?
Speaker 2: You know what, Just just go for it, like if
Speaker 2: you feel it in your gut, if you feel if
Speaker 2: you if you're visualizing it and you're like, no, this
Speaker 2: is what I want to do. That's that's the first step. Yeah, Latins.
Speaker 2: Now you need to do your research. Where do you
Speaker 2: want to go? Like where do you want to go? Sing? Like,
Speaker 2: kind of narrow it down right, educate yourself musically a
Speaker 2: little bit more. Even though you say, ah, I'm not
Speaker 2: a singer, I'm not a composer, I'm not. Just go
Speaker 2: for it, like whatever's in your heart, go for it,
Speaker 2: and you're gonna get a lot of crickets, like not
Speaker 2: even knows it's gonna be.
Speaker 1: Like I send.
Speaker 2: So many emails, just keep on sending them. Put putting
Speaker 2: yourself out there like that's that's what when when you
Speaker 2: put yourself out there and you talk to people, just
Speaker 2: go up to be hey, how are you in the industry,
Speaker 2: how do you do it? And you're gonna get a
Speaker 2: lot of people that will brush you off, But don't
Speaker 2: give up. Don't give up. Just never give up and
Speaker 2: do it with your heart. Like if your intentions are good,
Speaker 2: go for it. Are you that man? And it's so
Speaker 2: funny because God and the universe or anything will move
